Turkey Europe Future Forum

Deadline: 18 February 2018Open to: young leaders with at least 2 years of professional work experienceVenue: 1-8 July 2018, Paris, Berlin

Description

Which scenario for the future of the post-Brexit EU will prevail? Will Emmanuel Macron’s pro-European tendencies lead to the strengthening of the Franco-German axis many have been waiting? What will be the official German position in the aftermath of the post-election standstill? Will, on the other hand, illiberal tendencies in some member states gain momentum? What consequences may the changes within Europe’s framework have for neighbors and accession candidates, especially Turkey? These questions are at the core of the Forum 2018 for which you can apply now.

The objective of the eight-day young leader’s programme is to strengthen the ties between future decision makers from Turkey and Europe with a view to leveraging European discourse and creating a network based on mutual trust. In workshops, lectures and intercultural trainings, the participants share their sector- and country-specific perspectives and learn from each other.

The Forum is organized by Stiftung Mercator, a German private foundation, in cooperation with TÜSİAD, a Turkish voluntary business organization.

Eligibility

• Between two and ten years of work experience (internships not included) in the areas of politics, economic affairs, administration, culture, media, academia or civil society;
• Excellent university degree (preferably Master);
• Turkish, German or EU citizenship (non-EU citizens may be accepted via case-by-case decisions).

Zsuzsa Szabo, Hungary

During my university years I was a radio journalist. And thanks to the Mladiinfo newsletter I got to know about the Young Journalist Award of the European Commission. I applied with a radio piece, and I was selected as winner in Hungary! The prize was traveling to Berlin, where I met the winners from other European countries

I successfully applied and attended a conference in Maribor in 2012. I got certificate for the attendance but more important – I met new friends. I highly recommend Mladiinfo site. All the information is there, you just have to use the opportunity.

Mladiinfo gave me every opportunity a student needs. I attended numerous courses, acquired so much beautiful friendships, boosted my networking, and thus became a functional and active member of the society.

I come from Armenia and I started my legal education in Moscow, Russia. During my first semester in Moscow, thanks to Mladiinfo I made my way to
a conference in Switzerland. Thankfully to Mladiinfo I could get out from my comfort zone and make a progress in my education step by step.

Mladiinfo is a world-recognized website, so thanks to Mladiinfo’s reliable information and opportunities, I was able to submit my illustration to UN world report 2013 under the theme of youth migration. Actually I visit this web portal on a daily basis. Thank you Mladiinfo: you gave me the right path to show my creativity and my voice to the world

I highly recommend this site to anyone who is in search for scholarships, grants, student competitions, traineeships, jobs, volunteering opportunities etc. Mladiinfo can really enable you links to free educational opportunities.
